In the distance, you are likely to hear a little monkey screech or see an exotic bird fly from branch to branch from time to time. The odd ray of sun may manage to break through the dense canopy of leaves. And then there is the ever present sound of rushing water as it makes its way between the angular rock faces before collecting in crystal-clear springs. Are you ready to go on the perfect rainforest adventure? Then the best place for you to start your journey of discovery is at the waterfall park 27 Charcos de Damajagua. Follow the trails as they lead you up and down past the 27 waterfalls that are sure to provide some unforgettable bathing opportunities.

If you are not looking to awaken the Indiana Jones in you during your holidays, but prefer to take it easy, it is worth going to the Parque Historico La Isabela – a very special kind of rainforest. Here, you will not be strolling through deepest forest, but rather through red sand, past rows of mahogany, through which you can see the turquoise sea shimmering. Even the final stop is original, being Christopher Columbus’s former living room. This is the fantastic spot of land that he declared the first European settlement on American soil back in 1494.
